Wachovia Free Checking Promo

Looks like Wachovia is joining the bank bonus biz. They are currently offering a $50 bonus for opening a free checking account. You must open the account with $100 deposit and keep the account open for six months. There is no minimum account balance, no direct deposit requirement, no monthly fees, and includes free bill pay. The offer code is ATM2 and you must open an account by 1/30/08.

As you all know, I have been in search of a bank to open a spending account with. Wachovia is a pretty good bank and their current promo is good. All other bank promos out there require too much and I don't need that much hassle for a little ole spending account. I called their 800 number and opened up an account with them. I also qualified for their "At Work" program because my employer banks with them. So I got my 1st checks for free and I get bonus rates on any loan I may take out with Wachovia. Not bad.

They also have a referral program. You and the person who refers will receive a $25 Visa Gift card. Check here for more details. Hit me up with an email @ dimplesdivine at gmail dot com if you wanna get that on top of the promo.

Enjoy

Home Purchase Plan - How I faired

Back in January I developed my Home Purchase Plan (HPP for short). I listed exactly what I was looking for in my new home including my needs and wants. I printed up my HPP and carried it will me everywhere. I especially took it with me when I went house hunting with my agent. I had a momentary relapse (I'll explain more on that on another post) but got back on track and stuck to my guns. I ended up with a beautiful house that fits all my needs and wants. HOME PURCHASE PLAN The home I want: Price: $0 -> $190,000 $180,000 Ideal Monthly Mortgage (including taxes, PMI, HOA, & hazard) : $1200 (max $1300) $1310 Location: Surrounding Orlando Area Check Bedrooms: 3+ 4 Bathrooms: 2+ 2 Square footage: 1700 s.f. + 1810 sf Year Built: 2000+ 1998 HOA: $100/month max $150/yr NEEDS: * A-rated school district Check * Quick access to major highways Check * Good daycare Check * Nice

My $100 grocery budget and tips for saving on your grocery bill

I did a post back in October on how I kept my grocery budget under $120. In that post, I had pictures of the grocery shopping I had done earlier in the day for a total of $29.76. I also listed a number of ways I keep my grocery budget so low. Today I did some grocery shopping for meat and some other misc items. Here is what I bought: - 2 packages of chicken breasts - 2 packages of drumsticks - 2 whole hens - 2 packages of chicken wings - 1 bag of roma tomatoes - 1 bag of onions - 1 bag of organic baby carrots - 2 gallons of water (not shown) - 1 bottle of bbq sauce Total = $24.90 One big way to save on groceries each month is to package the food you buy into servings sizes. Your serving size depends on how many people are in your family. I separate out my sizes based on how much food my daughter and I consume in one meal. Take for instance drumsticks: My daughter will eat one drumstick while I will eat two. So I package those in threes. I know some folks are visual so here is wh
